So, I am a little over 6 months post (5-2-09 was my last relaxer) & I am having a dilemma about whether or not to BC. erplexed
My original plan was to do a long-term transition and trim about every 3-4 months until the natural hair is at least between SL & APL. Then I'd cut all the relaxed ends and go from there.
My hair is about 12.5 inches long total. About 4.65 inches is natural, the remainder is relaxed.
I am feeling that itch to do a BC and start working with my natural texture. I am a 3-something as far as hair type, so I am anxious to really start playing with my curls and products...see what my natural curl/ wave pattern is...what products will make my curls pop while growing it out without all the relaxer on the ends.
Dilemmas:
Hubby doesn't like short hair.
My hair has never been shorter than chin length & people freaked out when I cut it that short. I liked it.
I ALWAYS have long hair. I plan to try and grow my natural hair to MBL or WL and will likely NEVER cut it short again. I think this may be my only opportunity to see myself with short hair.
I saw this fly chick at a comedy show this past weekend with a cute curly/ wavy cut (about 3-4" of hair) & a fly Kango...I love hats! I loved her steelo though & it got me to thinking.
I wonder if I might be missing out on a really freeing opportunity to cut away the hair and really experience myself.
But...........I like buns. I am managing 2 textures fine. My hair is healthy. No breakage. No issues. Healthy ends. No knots. No excessive tangling. PATIENCE IS NOT MY STRONG POINT!
Any advice? Any suggestions?
Anyone transition more than once and do it both ways that has a recommendation?
Curly divas...I need advice! Lay it on me!
TIA!
